TRICARE is health insurance which is offered to members of the armed forces of the United States. Drug and alcohol use within the military is more common than one would think, and the need to offer rehab to these individuals is an important priority. TRICARE covers many different rehab services to deal with alcohol and drug dependence such as detoxification services, and also rehab in outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient settings. People who have TRICARE will obviously need to obtain a prior approval before partaking in any type of rehabilitation service, which may be arranged using their regional TRICARE representative. If an inpatient center could be the favored rehab option, TRICARE covers a three week period or one inpatient stay in this program per benefit period which is every 365 days. There are certain limits concerning how much time a TRICARE member can remain in an inpatient facility that accepts TRICARE, and there is typically a 30-45 day window that's covered. TRICARE also covers family treatment that may be very useful, as it could help include loved ones in the healing and process of recovery. No person in the military should fight this battle alone, and there are skilled rehabilitation counselors waiting to assist you today.
